Yes, Belly, put the Greens last. You must not give people a chance to choose anybody but bankrupt Labor and bankrupt Liberals. You must not give people an alternative. It must be one of the two humpty-dumptys.

Davidf it is true that my words hurt folk I like.
And mate from your persona here I like you.
I respect Paul 1405 and think in person we would get on.
Dave here is the place it gets hard.
Greens came in to being on the back of the Franklin Dam, Brown had built a profile but Hawk gave him that victory.
Not long after it was clear,* to me*a rib was torn from my party.
Greens took our voters and?
Used them like a rag doll, miss using any power they had gained to do nothing much other than harm Labor *and the community in general*
Today two women, who on the evidence dislike one another intensely, control your party.
And its fall.
Bloke average Aussie is still out there, some place he/she is sick of minority's THEIVEING power in upper houses.
Over ruling their stated views in electing party,s from the two main sides and seeing them stalled by quite mad minority's.
I offer and invite a look at NSW after a landslide my party had a near death here.
Unlike Queensland we have an upper house.
*Now if this is rude let it be known it is from my heart!
A few idiots! nothing less! stop legislation getting past the upper house *until their wonky bribery demands are met.
Christian right, shooters party ning nongs!
So in the end on balence I consider my views an act in favor of Democracy,never vote greens or minor party,s *it just encourages them*

No David, there are several options, but the greens are just poison to our economy and future.

A prime example is how Bob Erwin is heading the campaign to shut down the ports, a disguise for shutting down the mines, yet, at the same time he is no doubt a high user of energy at Australian Zoo and, should his customers decide that it is irresponsible to travel on our roads, some 80 km from the CBD, just to visit a zoo , he would no doubt increase advertising in an effort to restore numbers, again generating more energy use from advertisers and the like.

Put simply, they (the greens) are hypocrite, as on the ome hand they want/enjoy the benefits of our resourse rich nation, while on the other hand they want our economy driving mines shut.

They want their cake, and wish to eat it as well.

As our global population approaches 9 billion, we may well see the day come when someone else decides to mine our resources, in a hostile manner, amd domt laugh, as this day may be closer than we think, especially given our current costs of doing business.

The greens have been given more power and have showed their real agenda.

They are dead in the water, as step one is to get rid of this labor/green government, step two is a DD election to clean out the senate.

May I suggest you enjoy your fame while you have the chance because your days are numbered, or at least I hope so because the greens are poison.

Dear Belly,

That's right. You repeat. Don't give people an alternative. Screw the workers! Let jobs turn into McJobs with contract workers having little job security. Screw the environment! Under Gillard Burke has created national parks at sea which will give fish stocks a chance to revive so the sea can help feed us. So you replace her with a show pony who hasn't a clue about environmental capacity or he wouldn't be calling for a 'big' Australia. The show pony is difficult to work with so parliamentarians got rid of him, but for some reason he is popular. He can make the grand gesture and write great essays for The Monthly so bring the incompetent back and maybe win an election or don't get beaten as badly. The process of rot that destroyed job security under Keating and Hawke by economic rationalism must continue. The Party must stay in power or lose as little power as possible, but Australia and its environment along with its working people can go straight go hell. At all costs don't give people a choice.

Minor parties exist to give people a choice. All political parties, if on the stage long enough, become dinosaurs filled with self-serving and corrupt individuals who are in it for their personal gain. Sometimes they can reform. Under Franklin Roosevelt the US Democrats did it. More often they disappear as the Whigs did. Your policy is KEEP THE DINOSAURS! DON'T ALLOW AN ALTERNATIVE!

Worry about boat people instead of real issues like jobs and the environment. You probably were concerned with real issues once. Now your issue is: KEEP THE DINOSAUR!

As it often happens, when things are put simply they are put wrong.

Greens want an Australia that is livable for the next generation. Fracking has been banned by both France and Bulgaria. The French and Bulgarians do not want their water table poisoned. They want their farmers able to continue to produce food. In Queensland worked out mines have left lakes which are loaded with cyanide from mine tailings. They were supposed to be cleaned up but Queensland gov'ts have neither made them clean up nor cleaned up the area themselves. Greens do not want the 'benefit' of mines that poison the land. The Greens are not poison as you label them. They do not want Australia subjected to the real poison of industrial and agricultural operations that destroy the environment. They do not want luxury in the present at the cost of poverty and starvation in the future.

Your blather shows that you apparently don't have the least concept of what the Greens are about. You probably have a good brain. Brand new with little signs of use.

http://www.abc.net.au/tv/bigideas/stories/2013/04/08/3729644.htm tells how our seas are changing. Under Gillard National Parks were set up to save the seas around Australia. So Labor replaced her with a show pony who competes with the rottweiler in a race to the bottom.

When land and sea are polluted and barren will you eat your money?

That's what it's about.

To the headless chooks who start these threads attacking dear old Kev, don't PANIC. The alternative, the three ring circus known as The Coalition is being lead by the mad monk himself, Tony Boloney, and, an election is looming. On second thoughts, chooks, PANIOC!
